I had to leave college and I’m devastated.

Hey Reddit community,

I just need to vent. I'm 30 years old, an immigrant with a child, and I took a leap of faith by enrolling in university for the first time. Unfortunately, being neither a resident nor a citizen, FAFSA isn't an option for me. Other aid applications were denied, but I still went ahead with the process. Recently, I found out I could apply for a loan with a co-signer. I asked my fiancé (who is a citizen), but he refused. Feeling defeated, I've decided to withdraw from the university.

I emailed them, waiting for a response, but honestly, I'm just really sad. It feels like one of my biggest dreams has gone down the drain.

The worst thing is that I’m a great student. And yes, I talked to people from the financial aide department and they can’t do anything to help me

Thanks for letting me share.
